A Story I Lived Through
12,hours a day because the job is confusing
all of that overtime and you’re still not improving
it’s clear this job is one you shouldn’t be doing
they put you in charge your leadership is amusing
Guest complaining specifically about you
state you are unprofessional in a job you can’t do
and rather than looking to learn a lesson or two
a departmental meeting to stop staff doing it too
but none of them would as they learn when their trained
and none of them could as they’d be stopped by their brain
you are the boss causing the guests to complain
this job has you lost not your sport or your game
You delegate jobs because they’re jobs you can’t do
you’ve been here for months and still you haven’t a clue
you try and you stop but never learn something new
the power goes to your head with it’s boundary removed
You move the focus off your job on to the staff under you
you’ve got staff doing the jobs you don’t know how to do
which you present to your boss as work done by you
you lap up credit and praise for work you don’t do
the department does well and you make it all about you
but if you personally fail you tell the staff what not to do
and seem to believe that you improve and achieve
when really you do nothing but spread slander of me
I think you thought as my boss you’d play a role in my life
a role that in time would see you become my wife
but I kept a distance as I learned what you’re like
I find you repulsive and the opposite of my type
Your position of boss abused as if you are in know
as you talk about my life as if you’re part of the show
but you’re not involved and tell lies as you go
in attempts oh so obviously told to make me look low
it gets you attention when my name gets a mention
normally people look away from your direction
the golden ticket belongs to you when you have information
but you’re talking to my friends who recognise desperation
They are in my life and know the things that I do
you don’t realise this as they all listen to you
it makes you feel important and the feeling is new
at last you are noticed and think you’re popular too
But you’re just a dopy cow too thick for your job
you thought it would give you a social scene it has not
you’re entitled you’re hopeless and now you’re losing the plot
when people meet you they value all that they’ve got
